#1005 of 1070 Tire noise by cwsdad Apr 04, 2009 (6:05 am)
I have an 09 Pilot exl and have 10,000 miles on it andd the tire and road noise is getting louder . I took it to the dealership and they said that the tires were wearing correctly and the noise was what was expected from the pilot. The noise did not there when I purchased the pilot or I would not have purchased it.   Any thoughts?

Replying to: cwsdad (Apr 04, 2009 6:05 am) The noise maybe not from the tire. Maybe a bad wheel bearing. Replies to this message: cwsdad (Apr 05, 2009 4:47 pm) poodog13 (Apr 06, 2009 9:03 am)

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Apr 04, 2009 7:05 am) I'm going to take it back another time to the dealer but it certainly makes me regret that I traded my 4 runner with 100,000 miles for this which is my 1st new honda. Replies to this message: poodog13 (Apr 06, 2009 9:03 am)

Replying to: cwsdad (Apr 05, 2009 4:47 pm) Have you verified that the tire air pressure is correct?
#1009 of 1070 09 Pilot 2wd vs. 4wd by pilotmike Apr 06, 2009 (9:17 pm)
Getting close to purchasing a new 09 Pilot and can't decide between 2wd and 4wd. I live in the south so not much snow, but I was still leaning 4wd. I thought 4wd would handle better on wet roads and I don't want any 2nd guessing, but still wonder if it is really worth the extra cash. Thanks for the help.

Replying to: pilotmike (Apr 06, 2009 9:17 pm) I think 2WD would be fine. The Pilot is primary front wheel drive under either drivetrain, while the AWD system is an computer controlled, on-demand system. If wet roads is your primary concern, it doesn't seem that the AWD would kick in all that often and that your 2WD would do fine for the most part.

Replying to: pilotmike (Apr 06, 2009 9:17 pm) I think the VSA system will do you more good than AWD ever will, living in the south. I'm in Birmingham, AL so I understand!

Replying to: pilotmike (Apr 06, 2009 9:17 pm) Yes, Went back to dealer and they said all was normal, Drove another 1000 miles and put a set of Michelin's on and it took care of the issue but my local dealer was no help.
#1013 of 1070 Vibration by bbent Apr 29, 2009 (12:54 pm)
I have a 2009 Pilot that has a noticeable vibration staring around 30 mph. You can feel it through the seats as if you are sitting in a vibrating chair. Initially the dealership attributed it to the tires, but the tires have been replaced with a new set of Michelins. Although the new tires reduced tire noise and improved handling, they did not eliminate the vibration. Now I am being told this is a characteristic of the car, but I am having a hard time believing that this is the case. Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?
